PIXEL 3 JUST CAUSE 4 BACKGROUNDS ANDROID
You also get an IP68 water and dust resistant rating that have been available in other Android flagship phones for years and a 40 percent improvement in volume output from dual stereo speakers, something that makes coherent communication with Google Assistant in Pixel Stand a viable option. The boosted profile saturates colors a bit - particularly on the warmer end of the spectrum - but it doesn’t achieve the vibrancy of phones like the Galaxy Note 9.Īs was pointed out in a specs breakdown by VentureBeat last week, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL have many similar specs to their predecessors, but they’re a bit more expensive, a bit heavier, and see a screen size increase of 5 to 5.5 from Pixel 2 to Pixel 3 and 6.0 to 6.3 from Pixel 2 XL to Pixel 3 XL. Compared to LG V40 and the Sony Xperia XZ3, the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are much more neutral (and even muted) and in appearance on the default profile. Our in-depth Display Shoot-Out review article will go live here on Monday October 15. The firm awarded the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL its Best Smartphone Display Award in part for “color accuracy that is virtually indistinguishable from perfect.” Impressive viewing angles and an array of calibration options - including three color profiles (Natural, Boosted, and Adaptive) and adaptive brightness, which taps AI to automatically adjust to environments and activities - are icing on top of an already delicious cake.ĭisplayMate has Lab Tested the Google Pixel 3 XL OLED Display which has earned our Highest A+ Rating and a DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Award.
Notch or no, the screen’s dynamic range is industry-leading it’s among the best I’ve seen, and analysts at DisplayMate agree. Some reviewers have found it to be distracting. Notches are a veritable industry trend - Apple, LG, and Huawei are just a small sampling of the manufacturers that have adopted - but the Pixel 3 XL’s is a tad larger than the rest.
The Pixel 3 has a lower resolution than its big brother (2,160 x 1,080 versus 2,960 x 1,440 440 pixels per inch versus 522) and lacks its notch - i.e., a carved-out top-middle portion. It’s 5.5 inches and 6.3 inches on the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, respectively, with the Pixel 3’s coming in at 5.73 x 2.69 x 0.31 inches and the larger Pixel 3 XL’s measuring 6.2 x 3 x 0.31 inches. (Worth noting is that the Pixel 3 XL’s top speaker, between the front cameras, is slightly smaller than the bottom speaker, resulting in a slight imbalance between the two.)īy far the highlight, though, is the display - for better or worse. They’re joined by an earpiece that doubles as a loudspeaker in conjunction with a second front-firing speaker, it produces stereo sound that’s 40 percent louder than the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL’s two-speaker system. The front of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL bears two cameras instead of the traditional one - both 8MP models, but with different apertures (f/1.8 and f/2.2) and lenses (standard and wide-angle). It’s paired with a flash and positioned above and to the left of the Pixel Imprint fingerprint sensor, which Google says becomes more accurate over time as it reads your finger. Google stuck with a single rear camera this go around, opting for a 12.2-megapixel sensor with 1.4μm pixels, an f/1.8 aperture, autofocus with dual phase detection, a spectral sensor (to aid in color accuracy) and flicker sensor (to reduce banding in low light), and optical image stabilization. The Pixel 3 XL is just wide enough to grasp firmly in-palm, with a few fingers wrapped around the far edge for peace of mind. It’s not quite seamless - there’s noticeable separation between the frame and glass - but it’s impressively ergonomic. Said frame continues the curve, which the protective glass atop the screen completes.
The glass - Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5 - extends to all four corners and edges of the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL’s rears, encircling the matte portion and curving slightly toward the aluminum frame.
And in the Pixel 3 XL’s case, it contributes to a slightly heavier profile (the Pixel 3 XL weighs in at 6.49 ounces versus the Pixel 2 XL’s 6.17 ounces). It feels a bit like ceramic, and testing saw it resist fingerprints and pocket lint in equal parts - a welcome change from the glossy finishes on flagships like the LG V40 and Vivo Nex S. It’s a bit deceptive the bottom portion of the rear cover has a matte coating, giving them the two-tone aesthetic characteristic of their predecessors.
PIXEL 3 JUST CAUSE 4 BACKGROUNDS SERIES
The Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL are the first in Google’s Pixel series to ditch aluminum for glass, which enables support for wireless charging - also a first.
